1965 Benelli 200 Sprite. Low mileage fully serviced and road ready. Frame up renovation with many NOS and new factory correct parts. Tank and sidecovers are original factory paint. Everything else is repainted. Rims are Italian Borrani copies. Exhaust is new from Italy. All else is factory original including wire loom and motor. Battery is new and bike starts on one or two kicks every time and will start with a dead battery no problem as it is a magneto ignition system and was upgraded with a new and better modernrectifier in the same spot inside the headlight as the old one.. Shifts and stopslike new.A fine handling quick 200. Some patina on toolboxs and tank. Tank is excellent inside and petcocks and fuel system are leak free. Saddle is nice but has some spidering in a couple of spots from age. Vintage Pirelli tires.Low rise vintage Ducati handlebars and levers replace the western style bars it came with. A low mileage reliable motorcycle perfect for Moto Giro. In Italy they are one of the most popular Giro rides. In 1967 I bought one used for my first bike and flogged it relentlessly. It was passed along to two other childhood friends as their first rides. An observed top speed of 75flat upon the tank.
I had to check clear as there was no other option regarding title. It will come with a bill of sale as I bought it without one in CT. It might have come out of Georgia which has not title. Easy to get now for a vintage vehicle. Happy to answer all questions silly or smart.
